I might be too optimistic, but we've had a good working relationship with WotC for a while. It was a little bumpy at first when I took over the RPG division at Interplay in 1996, since Interplay hadn't come through on many of the promises that it had made to TSR (company which created D&D and was bought by WotC). Since then I have worked with a bunch of different people from both TSR and WotC and I would like to think that it always went pretty well.

I can't promise that we can push them game somewhere both WotC and Hasbro don't want it to go. But, I think we can talk through a lot of the issues with them and get what we want to do into the game. Our big goal is to keep them constantly in the loop and talk to them as frequently as possible.​
